After WhatsApp and other Meta services, it was the turn of Apple's solutions to experience some serious setbacks last night. Indeed, at the start of the evening for Americans on the east coast yesterday (around midnight here), the App Store, Apple TV, Apple Podcasts and Apple Music were simply no longer accessible. Luckily for our friends across the Atlantic, it didn't last too long, just over an hour. All the same, Apple was not as responsive as Meta: Mark Zuckerberg's firm yesterday resolved the WhatsApp outage in less than 30 minutes.
How to track outages live?
At the start of 2024, difficulties of this type for major American services are continuing. Facebook was experiencing a major outageat the beginning of March. Notion, the collaborative note-taking platform, was also in trouble a few days ago. What followed, therefore, were the problems of WhatsApp and Apple.
If you ever notice a breakdown of this type, in any case, know that it is very easy to follow its evolution. A site is dedicated to this, it isDowndetector.
The latter is based on user reporting. So, if you realize that Facebook is no longer working for you, you can raise the alert onDowndetector's Facebook page. The same goes for the mobile networks of SFR, Bouygues and even Orange and Free. Leboncoin is also present in the group of monitored services, just like Apple Music and Apple TV, YouTube and Gmail, etc.
Finally, for an official indication of the status of services at Apple,go to this page of the apple.com website. At the time of publication of this article, all the lights are green and that's good.
